AMA decision this weekend

[Scotty Ryan]

What do you think is going to happen? Is the AMA going to sell their promotional rights - and to who???? I'm very interested to see what happens this weekend....

[Super Dave]

You heard it was coming down this weekend?  I heard it was supposed to be at Indy too.


I have heard that the new promoter will also take over AMA Dirt Track too.

I thought I read last year that Dorna was intrested in taking it over.

[Super Dave]

Sure.  Did they make a bid on it?

[BrettRay76]

The France's bought it.  It is a done deal, everything finished up the end last week. That is the word from my inside guy.

[BrettRay76]

I'm interested in seeing how fast it will grow, now that there will be some money behind it. And they do know how to promote.

France as in NASCAR France?

i hope you are right  cause while i for one do not like nascar you cannot hlep but notice how much it has grown and the likes of jeff gordon and tony stewart are household names.  i mean look at dale jr. the guy hasn't even won one chammpionship and everyone knows who he is.  say mat maladin so someone or hell even valentino rossi and you will get looked at like you are retarded.  so i for one think the ama superbike series has great things coming if the frances of nascar get involved.  just look at how grand am has helped auto road racing in america or in our case the relative explosion in popularity of moto-st in its one year of existense

[Court Jester]

Could be....

That fits in very conveniently with the press release by Roger Edmundson a month ago to look for a major change in the Moto-ST schedule and sponsorship arrangements prior to Daytona.  No secret concerning his connections to the France family.

The France family has been in bikes forever.  Afterall, the Daytona 200 is older than the Daytona 500.  Brett, I've heard that too.
